We stayed here for 3 months (Nov 2015 through til end of Jan 2016) to escape the Uk winter. We had a brilliant time relaxing in the sun & wining & dining. Although situated inland (who wants a beach in winter?) we found plenty to do in the local area, & the villa is situated close to the local motorway network so that the coast or the shopping malls are only a short drive away. The villa is typically Spanish rustica & is well furnished & with adequate heating (should you need it). If you are looking for a relaxing break away from the tourist hot spots, then this is the place to be. Plenty of eating places close at hand at exceptionally reasonable prices.We found the hosts (Tina & Paul) very friendly & nothing was too much trouble. We plan to return next winter.

Stayed over new years 2014 for a bit of winter sun and relaxation.The villa is easy to drive to from Alicante airport in about an hour. Once in Los Banos we phoned the house-keeper Sheila, who arrived quickly to take us to the villa.

The villa is in a nice quiet location, lovely gardens and a great pool. The garden really is a sun trap and well sheltered from both wind and neighbours. In winter it get colds quickly out of the sun so couldn't use the garden furniture or sit in the verandas too much.We just parked the car in the driveway, no need to open gates to get in into the garden.

The villa is quite compact but has everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Also has wifi which is really useful. The main bedroom has plenty of storage. The 2nd bedroom is interconnected to the first so probably ideal for kids.

There were a few minor negative points like no wine glasses and blunt kitchen knives but thats quite common in rental properties.

All in all a great litte villa, would definitely go back again...

Many thanks for the kind words for your stay at Casa Hermosa. Really pleased that you enjoyed our Villa. Wine Glasses and kitchenware will be replaced, sorry about that. (think that over 7 wine glasses were broken over the summer, and we will replace kitchen knives) We are on it. Many Thanks again.

Ok bad, kitchen was not clean, work surfaces and walls had food splashes on and the white goods were all stained. Sitting room and bedrooms not hovered properly. (photos sent to owner) Took couple of hours to clean then all ok. The villa is in fact two halves you rent the right hand half which in the main photo showing the pool is to the right of the arches. The villa is nice and suitable for any family. The bathroom is very nice as is the shower. the bedrooms are nice. Bedroom two is off bedroom one which may not suit couples but may be great for families with children who get up early. The outside area is again very nice with plenty of sitting and sun loungers available. This area could be improved further with repairs to covers and parasol. The pool is he best part of this property, a good size and lovely and warm with the sun on it all day. The villa is in a quite Spa village, about 5 minutes walk away. You will need a car and shops are only about 4km away. Restaurants are a few minutes drive away and very good and in expensive, After our initial disappointment this was not a bad holiday at all. If you want peace and quiet the this may be for you. Enjoy

Many thanks Michael for the positive review of our Villa very much appreciated.Yes there are two sides to the Villa, both can be rented out for either two families or larger parties as described in the description at extra cost. However for normal bookings the left hand side is not occupied, leaving the whole garden & pool exclusively for the guests use.Apologies that the Villa was not clean upon arrival, I have in fact contacted the last five guest about cleanliness upon arrival and the reply were 'spotless' 'perfectly clean' So I can only hope this was a one off, plus 50% of the end clean, linen, and laundry fee was withheld. Thanks again.
